Speaker 1: Welcome to Good Game with Sarah Spain, where we're trying
Speaker 1: to enjoy the two week break before college basketball starts,
Speaker 1: but it's actually killing us. Are we sure it's not
Speaker 1: November fourth yet? On today's show, we'll be talking a
Speaker 1: breakout star and record setting goals scorer Temwachewinga and Her
Speaker 1: Casey current teammate fellow forward Juanna Lima Adam Jericho about goals, nicknames,
Speaker 1: and the growth of international soccer, plus the ties that
Speaker 1: connect generations of female athletes. Fee Gets Speicty and I
Speaker 1: Love a parade. It's all coming up right after this
Speaker 1: welcome back slice. This Here's what you need to know
Speaker 1: today in WNBA news. The hard part is over for
Speaker 1: the New York Liberty and now it's time to celebrate.
Speaker 1: The team will have a ticker tape parade in New
Speaker 1: York City on Thursday at ten am Eastern, beginning in
Speaker 1: Battery Park, heading north an ending at City Hall, where
Speaker 1: there'll be a ceremony for the team starting at noon.
Speaker 1: Fans are also welcome to join a celebration with the
Speaker 1: team later in the day in Brooklyn at Barclays Center
Speaker 1: at seven pm. The parade is free for all fans,
Speaker 1: but those who want to go to the championship ceremony
Speaker 1: at City Hall and the fans celebration at Barclay Center
Speaker 1: will need tickets. We'll put the link for those in
Speaker 1: our show notes. If the Las Vegas Aces celebrations the
Speaker 1: last few years or any indication we are in store
Speaker 1: for some drug shenanigans. Oh and speaking of New York celebrations,
Speaker 1: quick correction from me from our post title reaction show.
Speaker 1: I said that the last time New York City enjoyed
Speaker 1: a professional basketball championship win was the nineteen seventy in
Speaker 1: New York Knicks. That was actually the last title one
Speaker 1: in New York. The nineteen seventy three Knicks also won
Speaker 1: it all. So shout out to Stephen at Golden Age
Speaker 1: NBA on Twitter for the gentle correction. He said, quote
Speaker 1: Walt Fraser's Knicks won the franchise's second NBA title over
Speaker 1: Jerry West Lakers in nineteen seventy three. It's all I've got,
Speaker 1: Please don't take it. End quote. Listen. As a Chicagoan
Speaker 1: who enjoyed six Bowls titles and a Sky Championship during
Speaker 1: New York's drought, I would never want to take away
Speaker 1: what little you have. Wink wink, and thanks Steven. In
Speaker 1: women's college hoops, the AP released its preseason All America
Speaker 1: Team yesterday and includes three sophomores for the first time ever.
Speaker 1: Those young guns are USC's Juju Watkins, Notre Dames Hannah Hidalgo,
Speaker 1: and Texas's Madison Booker. They're joined by Yukon redshirt senior
Speaker 1: Page Beckers and watkins senior teammate Kiki Erieoffin. Watkins and Beckers,
Speaker 1: who went toe to toe in the NCAA tournament's Elite
Speaker 1: eight last season, were unanimous selections. Side note thanks to
Speaker 1: at doctor Mattea on Twitter who let us all know
Speaker 1: that Women's Final four tickets are on pre sale right
Speaker 1: now at face value with the code WFF twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1: If you want a chance to potentially experience these elite
Speaker 1: hoopers on the biggest stage, it's time to go. Secure
Speaker 1: your seats. Link is in our episode notes hurry though
Speaker 1: last time we clicked the link, we were in line
Speaker 1: behind like forty six hundred people, okay, orangelices, So we
Speaker 1: mentioned that the New York Liberty are being honored with
Speaker 1: a ticker tape p raid. This Thursday, and in doing so,
Speaker 1: they're going to become the first New York based women's
Speaker 1: team honored this way. But there's a long history of
Speaker 1: other women's sports athletes who have been honored in the
Speaker 1: Canyon of Heroes, which brings us to the latest edition
Speaker 1: of Yes and.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: If you're not from New York, you might be asking,
Speaker 1: what on earth is a ticker tape parade. Here's the gist.
Speaker 1: New York's first ticker tape parade was held spontaneously in
Speaker 1: eighteen eighty six. It was during a dedication to the
Speaker 1: statue of Liberty office workers in Wall Street through ticker tape,
Speaker 1: a type of paper ribbon used for sending telegraph messages
Speaker 1: into the streets below, and it quickly became a tradition.
Speaker 1: Since that first parade in eighteen eighty six, New York
Speaker 1: is honored a variety of folks, from athletes to astronauts
Speaker 1: to politicians in this very section of downtown Manhattan that's
Speaker 1: now known as the Canyon of Heroes. And while the
Speaker 1: Liberty are New York's first women's team, they aren't the
Speaker 1: first overall. Back in twenty fifteen, the US women's national
Speaker 1: soccer team became the first women's team honored with a
Speaker 1: ticker tape parade following their World Cup win. They were
Speaker 1: also the first female athletes to be honored in a
Speaker 1: solo parade in more than fifty years. And then they
Speaker 1: got another one in twenty nineteen after winning their second
Speaker 1: straight World Cup title. And if y'all remember, the gift
Speaker 1: that they got was that when Meghan Rapino got up
Speaker 1: to give a speech, the head of US Soccer called her,
Speaker 1: Megan Rappino, I will never forget that, and he will
Speaker 1: never be forgiven for that. Before then, gymnast Mary Lourettin
Speaker 1: and Cheryl Miller were honored in paradeer of Olympians in
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty four. Figure skater Carol Heist Jenkins got a
Speaker 1: parade in nineteen sixty after winning Olympic gold. Tennis player
Speaker 1: Althea Gibson was honored in nineteen fifty seven following her
Speaker 1: first Wimbledon win, and Gertrude Utterly was honored in nineteen
Speaker 1: twenty six after she became the first woman to swim
Speaker 1: the English channel. So Yes to the New York Liberty
Speaker 1: and to Gertrude Althea, Carol Cheryl and Mary Lou we
Speaker 1: got to take a quick break. When we come back,
Speaker 1: We're riding the k C Current with Temla and Jericho.
Speaker 1: She's a Malawian professional footballer who plays as a forward
Speaker 1: for the Kansas City Current of the NWSL and the
Speaker 1: Malawi national team. In her first season in the NWSL,
Speaker 1: she's broken the single season scoring record. She's currently at
Speaker 1: twenty goals for the year and is now the only
Speaker 1: player in league history to score against every active NWSL
Speaker 1: team in a single season. Her name means love, but
Speaker 1: the rest of the NWSL has gotten no love for her.
Speaker 1: It's Temwa Scheweinga because she keeps beating all their teams
Speaker 1: joining her. A Kenyan professional footballer who is captain of
Speaker 1: the Kenya national team and a forward for the Kansas
Speaker 1: City Current as well. She had twenty three goals, including
Speaker 1: two hat tricks playing in the Turkey Super League last
Speaker 1: year and just joined Casey in August of this year.
Speaker 1: She's got four names when you count her nickname Dogo,
Speaker 1: but she's such a star she only goes by one.
Speaker 1: It's Juana Lima Adam Dogo, Jericho aka Jericho. What's up Jericho?
Speaker 1: What's up?
Speaker 3: Temwa?
Speaker 1: Congrats on a great season so far, Temwa. Before we
Speaker 1: get into your success in the NWSA, so I want
Speaker 1: to go back to the beginning. Your older sister, who's
Speaker 1: also a soccer player, told the story about playing with
Speaker 1: balls made out of plastic and paper when you were
Speaker 1: growing up. Can you tell us how you learned how
Speaker 1: to play soccer and Malawi.
Speaker 3: I learned from my sister.
Speaker 4: I was liking to go to play soccer like that,
Speaker 4: so me I was following her every.
Speaker 3: Time when you go, joining them to train to play.
Speaker 4: After that, we go to go to the Long Way
Speaker 4: to start playing in the league. There mea stay in
Speaker 4: the Lulo area, but I joined her to the same
Speaker 4: team we play.
Speaker 3: To give any wrong?
Speaker 1: What did your parents think about you playing football before?
Speaker 3: Didn't allow us?
Speaker 4: Were singing a lot of countries in Africa don't allow
Speaker 4: girls to play soccer. Was thinking it's only for boys,
Speaker 4: but my sister refused. After that were except me. I
Speaker 4: just passed through the way my sister. She already brewed
Speaker 4: a media. We didn't allow us, but to me, they
Speaker 4: allow me. We're going to do the way your sister
Speaker 4: is doing, except as to play soca.
Speaker 1: She opened the door for you by being the one
Speaker 1: who was willing to defy them at first, but then
Speaker 1: you both were so good. Obviously there was some magic there.
Speaker 1: And you're playing Jericho. You're the first Kenyan born player
Speaker 1: to play in the NWSL. How did you first get
Speaker 1: into soccer back home and was your family supportive.
Speaker 3: For me?
Speaker 5: I started playing with my brother, my first mom, usually
Speaker 5: playing in our village. So then when every ceremony go anywhere,
Speaker 5: we just follow out my boots. So starting from there,
Speaker 5: I go to primary school, I played to primary ball games.
Speaker 5: I go secondary school, Saint John's CALOLENI I start continued
Speaker 5: then a join national team twenty fifteen inch until now.
Speaker 1: Yeah, tell us about the nickname Dogo. It means small
Speaker 1: and Swahili.
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, and means small because it was shot and
Speaker 5: they played with so they called you from to day
Speaker 5: your dog.
Speaker 3: So they just called me.
Speaker 1: Dog and you're okay with that. You are short, right,
Speaker 1: so you can't really.
Speaker 5: Argue yes, and because I'm dog yeah.
Speaker 1: It's accurent. What was your goal at the beginning of
Speaker 1: this season with the current did you have any goals? No?
Speaker 3: Both.
Speaker 4: I remember when I come here in pre season, I
Speaker 4: see the team goes good, so after I was when
Speaker 4: interview asked me how it goes to score, I said,
Speaker 4: maybe twenty to twenty three. I trust my team may
Speaker 4: be away if you play. So they helped me alone,
Speaker 4: like maybe Lo and Vanessa. They tell me a lot
Speaker 4: of what to do in the pich was single players.
Speaker 4: We play in this league since long time I go,
Speaker 4: so they teach me a lot to do the pich.
Speaker 1: So you called your shot. I mean, did you know
Speaker 1: when you said maybe twenty twenty three goals that it
Speaker 1: was the record.
Speaker 3: No, I didn't know anything.
Speaker 4: I didn't know anything to say the truth just year
Speaker 4: maybe you break Hey, look d I said, no, really,
Speaker 4: so I was very happy.
Speaker 1: Jericho. I heard in an interview that you said that
Speaker 1: Tamoa has a good heart, but she's stubborn. Tell us more.
Speaker 5: Tema is that galoon. You see us like this, you
Speaker 5: think maybe tailman. She's very quiet. But when you guys
Speaker 5: don't see temor, Tema can do things so.
Speaker 3: That you people can't see.
Speaker 5: But I'm the one to see Tema that think she's
Speaker 5: doing to me or to the team. But after all
Speaker 5: the team will pointing at it's you and it's tim.
Speaker 1: Like pranks like she pulls pranks on you.
Speaker 5: Yes, sometimes in the changing room she just go and
Speaker 5: see the bond and she's so when.
Speaker 3: Some people come come out. Okay. So Temana is a
Speaker 3: stubb one.
Speaker 1: I like it, but you always end up taking the
Speaker 1: fall for her. You're the one that gets the finger
Speaker 1: pointed at you. That's that's that's sticky.
Speaker 3: They know I'm stubborn, but with tabone than me.
Speaker 1: Jericho, how have you adjusted? And you and Tamwa to
Speaker 1: living in Kansas City. It's nice, I imagine to have
Speaker 1: two African teammates, especially when you're so far from home.
Speaker 5: For me, I say in case seeds like home now.
Speaker 5: We see all of us from technical bends to plans.
Speaker 5: They like us so much by the way they take
Speaker 5: us as from this place. So me and Temo just
Speaker 5: and hell leto Africa, we just feel that home because
Speaker 5: Kansas is like they're like our family is now. Because
Speaker 5: we know that we know Labonta, Debinia and Venessa all
Speaker 5: over the coaches, they know us.
Speaker 3: We feel so happy to be here.
Speaker 5: So maybe those food from Africa in mess but other
Speaker 5: than from that, we are home.
Speaker 1: Just the food. Okay, So we got to get some
Speaker 1: fans to send you the right places in Kansas City
Speaker 1: to get good African food. Right, that will be that
Speaker 1: will be said, uh Tama. There's a lot of international
Speaker 1: talent on the current you have teammates from Brazil, Denmark, Germany, Canada,
Speaker 1: South Africa. How is it to play with people from
Speaker 1: all over the world, whether that's style of play, communication,
Speaker 1: cultural differences. Has that been difficult?
Speaker 4: Nose I Maybe to me, I lean a lot of things.
Speaker 4: It's good to be maybe different differ so you lean
Speaker 4: a lot of things. Maybe when you go back home
Speaker 4: when discussing for siblings or has able to tell him
Speaker 4: the way things happened, like maybe to another countries.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's cool. Well, Lawi not exactly known as
Speaker 1: as a soccer power for the women or even the men.
Speaker 1: On the women's side, the team is still moving up
Speaker 1: in the ranks. You won the COSAFA Championship last year,
Speaker 1: which is a tournament for teams from Southern Africa, but
Speaker 1: the nation has yet to compete even in the Africa Cup,
Speaker 1: let alone other major international tournaments like the World Cup
Speaker 1: or the Olympics. What is it like playing for Malawi
Speaker 1: at the international level and you have some goals to
Speaker 1: help lead your team in bigger tournaments in the future.
Speaker 4: Yeah, if maybe I have enough support. Was in Africa
Speaker 4: don't take serious things for women so the way here
Speaker 4: they do. But in countries like that, so you can
Speaker 4: improve usself. I remember better teams they may be national teams.
Speaker 4: It was here young Italian in Africa, a little play
Speaker 4: as we played do But if.
Speaker 3: You don't, government don't help so much like that. Just
Speaker 3: focus with your boys, not to women's.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it feels like the success that African players are
Speaker 1: having in the NWSL and other international leagues will certainly
Speaker 1: help try to bring attention to the fact that there
Speaker 1: is so much talent that could be fostered if there
Speaker 1: were resources and money put behind it. I know when
Speaker 1: the case current was in Washington, d C. In August,
Speaker 1: the Malawian embassy actually held the reception to honor you
Speaker 1: your contributions to soccer, to celebrate your role as an
Speaker 1: ambassador for the country. What does it mean to have
Speaker 1: your home country support your career, particularly because when you started,
Speaker 1: you and your sister, it wasn't really something your parents
Speaker 1: wanted you to do.
Speaker 3: It means a lot to us.
Speaker 4: They may be we are putting a content them up,
Speaker 4: so maybe some teams will start stating some players from Africa,
Speaker 4: so from Malawi, from Kenya, from Zambia, like that was
Speaker 4: players in Africa, we're doing good and maybe blabb blah
Speaker 4: banda Lesti.
Speaker 3: Yeah, a lot of players are doing good.
Speaker 4: Here in say so, I think the team the start
Speaker 4: stating players from Africa.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Jericho, Kenya's national team has a similar history. You're
Speaker 1: currently the captain of that squad. What are your hopes
Speaker 1: for that program going forward? For me.
Speaker 5: Much, I say, I think they should put more impact
Speaker 5: to the women's football to in Africa because it's different
Speaker 5: African and these maybe us the way the girls they
Speaker 5: treat the girls professionals, so in Africa, well like that,
Speaker 5: professionals and the government should be the treats equal, whether
Speaker 5: it's women's or men, so that we can grow football
Speaker 5: talent so that other team they will like let us
Speaker 5: go and search for another player, another Chawinga in Malawi.
Speaker 5: Maybe you can find good player or another goggle from Keane.
Speaker 3: So that is the football g like that?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Jericho is there's somebody in this league, in
Speaker 1: the NWSL that you look to other than Timoa to
Speaker 1: say they're doing amazing things. I like how they play.
Speaker 1: Did you say not tie other than Timoa obviously tam wah.
Speaker 1: But what about anybody else for me in our team? No,
Speaker 1: just any.
Speaker 3: Team for me?
Speaker 5: Let me say sibly inspare me a lot playing good food?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, good, good answer. Good ambassador of Kenya here
Speaker 1: not wanting to ruffle any feathers Temoa. How about someone
Speaker 1: from another team that you watch that you like how
Speaker 1: they play?
Speaker 3: For me to say the truth, I just like the defender.
Speaker 3: Noch is a good defender.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Naomi Germa you wish to play, so she's first?
Speaker 3: So yeah, I love that.
Speaker 1: Okay. Final question? What country has better food? Kenya or Malawi?
Speaker 4: Their food is just similar Gali as we called Sima
Speaker 4: and ken So it's just same foods, same food.
Speaker 1: Okay, so no no argument there, It's just the same no, no, no.
Speaker 3: The same.
Speaker 6: Well.
Speaker 1: Congratulations on an amazing season so far. We look forward
Speaker 1: to the playoffs and to coming to your home arena
Speaker 1: for the championship that you might be in. If you
Speaker 1: have something to say about it, Thank you so much
Speaker 1: for the time.
Speaker 3: Thank you, Thanks.
Speaker 1: So much to Time one Jericho for hopping on something.
Speaker 1: Tells me I could get an actual battle going on
Speaker 1: that whole Kenya versus Malawi food thing. I think they
Speaker 1: kept it cute there. We got to take another break
Speaker 1: when we return more from my nights celebrating fifty years
Speaker 1: of the Women's Sports Foundation. Welcome back, y'all. As I
Speaker 1: told you last week, I attended the incredible Women's Sports
Speaker 1: Foundation fiftieth anniversary celebration at Brionni Wall Street in New York,
Speaker 1: and I got to witness a beautiful and powerful celebration
Speaker 1: of just how far we've come in the decade since
Speaker 1: Billy Jean King founded the organization. By the way, shout
Speaker 1: out to my friend Jackie Pepper. It turns out she
Speaker 1: was one of the main architects and editors of those
Speaker 1: amazing videos I told you about spotlighting the news events,
Speaker 1: social issues, and major women's sports highlights from each decade.
Speaker 1: That was truly a bright spot of the night, Along
Speaker 1: with seeing and hearing from some of the very best
Speaker 1: of all time, among them US women's national team great
Speaker 1: Tobin Heath. She was on hand to present the ninety
Speaker 1: nine Ers soccer team with the twenty twenty four Wilma
Speaker 1: Rudolph Courage Award. On the twenty fifth anniversary of their
Speaker 1: big World Cup win. Tobin spoke of how women athletes
Speaker 1: of all generations are sort of woven together in a way,
Speaker 1: working for more opportunity, equity, coverage, and respect, and during
Speaker 1: her remarks she proved that those ties go way back.
Speaker 1: Calling to the stage eighty seven year old Lucinda Williams,
Speaker 1: a teammate of Wilma Rudolph's in the nineteen sixty Olympics
Speaker 1: when they set a world record and one gold in
Speaker 1: the four by one hundred meter relay. Quick refresher on
Speaker 1: Wilma Rudolph in case you needed She overcame childhood pneumonia,
Speaker 1: scarlet fever, and polio and had to wear a leg
Speaker 1: brace until she was twelve years old when she learned
Speaker 1: how to walk correctly again. In high school, she got
Speaker 1: into basketball and track and field, and she went on
Speaker 1: to win a bronze medal in the nineteen fifty six
Speaker 1: Olympics and then became the first American woman to win
Speaker 1: three gold medals in track and field during a single
Speaker 1: Olympic Games in nineteen sixty. She became a role model
Speaker 1: for black and female athletes, elevated women's track and field
Speaker 1: in the US and went on to become a civil
Speaker 1: rights and women's rights pioneer. So her teammate Lucinda Williams
Speaker 1: shared a story from before that relay race. Rudolph had
Speaker 1: already won two individual golds and really wanted to get
Speaker 1: golds for her teammates too. Here's Lucinda.
Speaker 3: She said, I want you.
Speaker 7: And Barbara and Matha to get a whole merit.
Speaker 1: Just get the baton to me. And that's what we did.
Speaker 1: And when it was.
Speaker 3: Thank you.
Speaker 7: And when it was all said and done, we got
Speaker 7: the baton tour who we broke the royal record forty
Speaker 7: four point five And from this day to forever, I
Speaker 7: shall ever be grateful. But before I leave this stand,
Speaker 7: I want to say thank you to Billy Jean King.
Speaker 8: I want to say thank you to Alana, and I
Speaker 8: want to say thank you to the Women's Sports Foundation,
Speaker 8: because without sports and athletics for girls and women, I
Speaker 8: would not be standing on this dage tonight.
Speaker 3: So thank you.
Speaker 2: Sorry, It'sinda, it's been such a pleasure getting to know
Speaker 2: you and Wilma sounds like my favorite number nine's just
Speaker 2: get the ball to them in those score.
Speaker 9: To hear about your time on the US Olympic team
Speaker 9: with Wilma Rudolph gives us such a powerful connection to
Speaker 9: her and reinforces why the Foundation continues to bestow this
Speaker 9: award that bears her.
Speaker 1: Name after Tobin Heath brought up the ninety nine ers.
Speaker 1: Goalkeeper Brianna Scury was one of the players on hand
Speaker 1: to accept the award. Here's a bit of what she
Speaker 1: had to say about the legacy of the ninety nine ers.
Speaker 6: Thank you so much. I'm deeply honored to be here
Speaker 6: tonight to accept the Wilma Rudolph Courage Award on behalf
Speaker 6: of my teammates, the ninety nine ers. It's hard to
Speaker 6: believe that twenty five years have passed since that unforgettable
Speaker 6: day at the Rose Bowl. I can still feel the
Speaker 6: weight of that moment standing in the goal during the
Speaker 6: penalty kick shootout. Even at that time, our team knew
Speaker 6: it wasn't just a game. It was an opportunity to
Speaker 6: define something far bigger than ourselves. It wasn't just about
Speaker 6: winning a World Cup. It was about redefining the way
Speaker 6: people perceive women's sports in this country. Looking back, what
Speaker 6: fills me with the most pride isn't a gold medal,
Speaker 6: A World Cup trophy or any of our victories on
Speaker 6: the field. It's the bond we've built as a team.
Speaker 6: It's the sisterhood that still stands strong today, and the
Speaker 6: way we used our platform to create real change for
Speaker 6: future generations.
Speaker 3: Our journey was never just about soccer.
Speaker 6: It was about breaking barriers and inspiring others to dream bigger.
Speaker 6: I want to express my deepest gratitude to the Women's
Speaker 6: Sports Foundation for this incredible honor, and to all of
Speaker 6: you here tonight, thank you for your unwavering support. Like
Speaker 6: the ninety nine ers did twenty five years ago, I
Speaker 6: encourage each of you to use your voice to stand
Speaker 6: up for what's right and to keep paving the way
Speaker 6: for those who follow in your footsteps, much like Billy
Speaker 6: Jean King did with Julie Foudy years and years ago.
Speaker 6: In nineteen ninety three or nineteen ninety four, Julie said
Speaker 6: she met Billy Jean King and explained to her the
Speaker 6: situation that the team was in. She said, Billy Jean,
Speaker 6: what should we do? Billy Jean said to Julie, I
Speaker 6: don't know what are you going to do? What are
Speaker 6: you going to do?
Speaker 1: Is that the right?
Speaker 3: Okay?
Speaker 1: They gonna get it.
Speaker 6: What are you going to do about that? Billy Jean King,
Speaker 6: as you all know, is an amazing leader, a trailblazer
Speaker 6: for so many of us here, but also for this
Speaker 6: nineteen ninety nineteen I don't know how far we vod
Speaker 6: gotten without her if she hadn't had the conversation with Julie,
Speaker 6: if she had to put it on Julie to make
Speaker 6: the team make a stand. And because of that timeless advice,
Speaker 6: here we are today in front of you and inspiring
Speaker 6: players like Tobin Keath to do the same. So thank
Speaker 6: you Women's Sports Foundation for this amazing award, and thank
Speaker 6: you Billy Jane Jane.
Speaker 1: From nineteen sixty to nineteen ninety nine to twenty twenty four,
Speaker 1: we continue to weave the tale of great women athletes
Speaker 1: and women's sports, and we're happy that this show is
Speaker 1: a part of continuing to tell those stories. And it
Speaker 1: was so cool to get to be a part of
Speaker 1: that night. Thank you again to the Women's Sports Foundation
Speaker 1: for that, and thank you for listening. We love that
Speaker 1: you're listening, but we do want to get you in
Speaker 1: the game every day too. So here's our good game
Speaker 1: play of the day. We got a couple today. First,
Speaker 1: a reminder you got to watch episode one of the
Speaker 1: off season on Twitter slash x. If the premiere is
Speaker 1: any indication this show might be better than any reality
Speaker 1: TV US folks here at good game I've ever seen.
Speaker 1: And the deleted scene that they released, did you see
Speaker 1: that stuck elevator confessions and peace during slide tackles? I
Speaker 1: love it injected into my veins. Also, last night was
Speaker 1: opening night for the twenty twenty four MNBA season, and
Speaker 1: one of the biggest storylines is Lebron James and his
Speaker 1: son Bronni playing for the Los Angeles Lakers together. An
Speaker 1: incredible feat and we've seen a handful of big name
Speaker 1: father son duos in pro sports, not at the same time,
Speaker 1: of course, but it's always fun to fuel your age.
Speaker 1: When you hear about Vladimir Guerrero junior, Marvin Harrison junior,
Speaker 1: Frank Gore junior, and thinking about those father sons got
Speaker 1: me thinking, are there any great mother daughter duos in sports?
Speaker 1: We know a couple, but we want you to chime
Speaker 1: in too. Not necessarily a duo that played together Lebron
Speaker 1: and Bronnie are crazy for that, but just a prominent
Speaker 1: female athlete whose daughter got all those sporty genes and
Speaker 1: excelled to It's tougher to find on the women's side
Speaker 1: because you know the delayed start to most pro leagues
Speaker 1: and opportunities. But if you know of a great mother
Speaker 1: daughter sports duo, hit us up at Sarah Spain on
Speaker 1: Twitter at Spain two three two three on Insta or
Speaker 1: on email good game at wondermedianetwork dot com, or leave
Speaker 1: us a voicemail eight seven two to a four fifty seventy.
Speaker 1: And while you're at it, you know what I'm going
Speaker 1: to say, don't forget to subscribe, rate and review. It's
Speaker 1: real easy slices. Watch Nafisa Collier putting a picture of
Speaker 1: a clear foul in the finals in her end of
Speaker 1: season Instagram post, rating five out of five petty points review. Now,
Speaker 1: I told you all, I'm a red ass, problematically competitive people,
Speaker 1: and this just confirms that Fee is one of us,
Speaker 1: and I love it. I knew she had a dinner
Speaker 1: even after her failed trash talk about ending Dinah Tarassi's
Speaker 1: career in the first round of the playoffs. Remember she
Speaker 1: kind of backtracked off that, oh, I wasn't try to
